Having children is the ultimate endorsement of the future. It signals hope that things will get better. Such a belief is no longer rational. Young couples don’t have houses or job security or wage growth or social stability. Every metric is trending downward. We’re living in a boring neofeudalist dystopia of cancerous idiocracy, nihilism, and open corruption. Cultists run the world. Religious cultists. Political cultists. Celebrity cultists.

I remember watching "children of men" and thinking it was far from futuristic.
